"Coming off the high of season 18, arguably one of the best in the franchise's history, the latest season of " Real Housewives of Orange County, " which just wrapped its finale, failed to reach that Icarian high. Despite a noticeable drop in caliber, the Housewives appeared in more than two dozen standout Southern California restaurants. Costa Mesa eateries appeared the most this season, inadvertently helping to erode the city's one-time reputation as a comparatively affordable place to buy or rent a home."
"Oliver's Trattoria (Irvine): Emily, Heather and Tamra rehash issues from last season. No better way to open the season than with Erik De Marchi's Oliver's Trattoria, a spinoff of his hit, Oliver's Osteria, in Laguna Beach. His Emilia-Romagna menu focuses on pastas (like Tagliatelle alla Bolognese or Tortelli di Erbette) and wood-fired pizzas with crisp bottoms and blistered crusts. 6511 Quail Hill Parkway, Irvine."
The latest season of Real Housewives of Orange County did not match the acclaim of season 18 and showed a noticeable drop in caliber. The cast visited more than two dozen Southern California restaurants, with Costa Mesa establishments featured most often and associated with rising perceptions of local unaffordability. Familiar RHOC destinations like the Quiet Woman and Mozambique appeared alongside newer openings such as Ospi and Verde. A widely debated dinner at Mastro's Ocean Club drew attention despite lack of on-camera footage. Episodes included stops like Oliver's Trattoria in Irvine, highlighting Emilia-Romagna pastas and wood-fired pizzas.
